About

Monique’s journey in mind-body movements started in 2000 when she was looking for something to help with her scoliosis. Having done ballet at a younger age, she found a natural appeal in the lengthening, dance-like movements of Pilates.  Learning Pilates improved her body alignment and allowed her to find strength and ease in movement again. She went through comprehensive training with the PhysicalMind Institute and became a fully certified Pilates Instructor in 2006. 

Around that time, Monique also started exploring the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® and was amazed at how it takes movement to another level - the circular and spiraling movements, the way it integrates the entire body with breath and energy, the continuous flow it creates and sustains...  She completed training and became a certified GYROTONIC® Trainer in 2007.

Monique combines her background in Educational Theatre with her knowledge and experience in Pilates and GYROTONIC® in teaching people of all ages and fitness levels. She aims to help clients learn about their bodies and how to make them work for their particular needs, whether it is correcting alignment and movement habits, rehabilitating from injuries and chronic pain, or conditioning the body to enhance athletic performance.
